Notes: --- Be sure to move the stitch marker up as you complete each round. --- Any color of yarn can be used, but I find that multi-colors give the finished bag an interesting look. --- Yarn, rope, or cording can be used in place of the ribbon.

Run the second length of ribbon the same way, except start in the space directly opposite the first length of ribbon; tie the ends together. Trim the ribbon ends if necessary so that they are even.

Too many people didn't seem to understand "working under entire st". So I re-wrote that section of the pattern. The bag will look the same, but hopefully the pattern is easier for everyone to follow now.

I stitch VERY TIGHTLY, so my bag was only about 6-7 inches tall. The yarn I used was Red Heart Super Saver Yarn and Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn. If you keep finding that your bag is still really big, I recommend using a smaller hook and Patons Cotton Yarn.

I love this. I wanted something to contain coins in for fun. Instead of using trc or dc around, I just used sc all the way for about ~20 rounds so the coins wouldn't slip through. The bag ended up being about 10cm tall, which was the perfect size.
